How is the class — students share their experience.
Accademia di Italiano runs four campuses - Milan, Florence, Mantua and Turin - each in its own historic building. Same teaching framework, same student services, four very different cities. We are built for serious adult learners - long-term students on a study visa, U.S. faculty-led groups, professionals relocating for work, and 4-24 week students who want measurable progress rather than a tourist week.
If you are bringing a corporate team for one focused week of immersion, or you have a month, three months, a year, or a faculty-led cohort - keep reading. We do both: renewable one-week Full Immersion for executives and serious one-week learners, and multi-month formats for everyone who wants measurable progress over time.
Start with where you want to learn Italian
Milan - international hub
City-centre Academy a short walk from the Duomo. Built for professionals, long-term visa students, faculty-led cohorts. The fastest city to start using Italian.
Florence - the campus model
17th-century campus of the former Piarist Fathers on Via Bolognese: 8,000 m² of grounds, in-house café, on-campus residence. Built for students who actually study.
Mantua - full immersion
Former Archbishop's Seminary in a UNESCO Renaissance city of 50,000 people. The campus for students who want to break the English-default habit.
Turin - elegant, independent
Modern campus near Parco del Valentino. Mature student profile, lower cost of living, real working city. Substance over scenery.
Four course formats - chosen, not stacked
Full Immersion Week
One full week of intensive Italian - half-day (mornings only) or full-day (with lunch included). Renewable week by week. Built for executives, professionals, and private students who need to move fast in a short window. Equally at home for corporate teams and individuals.
Standard
20 in-class lessons per week. Six levels (A1-C2). Communicative method, native-speaker teachers with university qualifications. Weekly start dates for most levels.
Light
Daily lessons plus 2 hours/day of structured guided self-study. Documented, study-visa eligible, more flexibility in your timetable while keeping a full academic load.
Long-term (visa eligible)
3, 6, 9, 12-month programs designed around the study-visa process. Documentation in the format Italian consulates expect, residence permit support after arrival.
Planning a stay of more than 90 days? Study-visa support
Non-EU students staying in Italy for more than 90 days need a study visa. Our long-term courses are study-visa eligible. We issue documentation consulates accept, and we support you on residence permit, codice fiscale, and accommodation after arrival as a documented process.
